The Effect of Calcining Temperature on Photocatalytic Activity of Porous ZnO Architecture

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nano crystals assembled porous architecture was prepared by thermal decomposition of zinc oxalate precursor at various temperatures ranging from 400-900°C. The effect of calcining temperature on structure and morphology was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractometry, thermogravimetry, and BET adsorption analysis. The porous nano crystalline ZnO morphology was developed due to the release of volatile precursor products, while the overall shape of ZnO micro crystals was retained as a legacy of the precursor. The average crystallite size increased with increasing temperature of calcination from approximately 21 nm to 79 nm, while the specific surface area decreased from 30 to 1.7 m2g-1. The photo catalytic performance of prepared ZnO powders was evaluated by degradation of methyl violet 2B, a model compound. The significantly highest photo catalytic activity was achieved with powder calcined at 500°C. This may be attributed to the sufficiently well-developed crystalline arrangement, while the specific surface area is still high enough

Fast Microwave-Assisted Synthesis οf Uniform Magnetic Nanoparticles

In recent time, magnetic nanoparticles have become widely used for preparation of advanced magnetic materials and also for biomedical applications. Requirement for preparation of particles of suitable shape and size has appeared, hence, various methods have been developed. Here we present rapid and energy saving one-pot solvothermal synthesis using microwave pressurized system. This method allows tuning the size of the particles as well as their magnetic properties. Spherical $Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticles are obtained in 30 min; they are uniform with average dimensions of 200 nm and exhibit ferromagnetic behavior dependent on synthesis temperature
